Legal claims defining the scope of protection, as filed with the USPTO.

1

1. A method comprising: receiving, via an on-line interface for accessing information related to a user's account for wireless services provided through a mobile communication network, user input selecting previously purchased mobile station media content for transfer to a new mobile station associated with the user's account; storing provisioning information with respect to the selected previously purchased mobile station media content, wherein the stored provisioning information is used to prepare the user-selected mobile station media content for transmission to the new mobile station through the mobile communication network; provisioning the selected previously purchased mobile station media content for transmission through the mobile communication network to the new mobile station upon determining that the user is authorized to access the selected previously purchased mobile station media content, wherein determining whether the user is authorized to access the selected previously purchased mobile station media content comprises sending a query to an authentication-authorization-accounting (AAA) server; and upon completion of the provisioning, preparing the user-selected mobile station media content for transmission to the new mobile station through the mobile communication network based on the stored provisioning information and transmitting a mobile messaging service message through the mobile communication network to the new mobile station, the mobile messaging service message including instructions for downloading the selected previously purchased mobile station media content through the mobile communication network to the new mobile station.

2

2. The method of claim 1 , wherein the selected previously purchased mobile station media content includes a Binary Runtime Environment for Wireless (BREW) application.

3

3. The method of claim 1 , wherein a location of the selected previously purchased mobile station media content at the download server is addressed to a short code that the new mobile station uses to download the selected previously purchased mobile station media content.

4

4. The method of claim 3 , wherein the selected previously purchased mobile station media content comprises wallpaper media.

5

5. The method of claim 1 , wherein the on-line interface is a Web page associated with the user's mobile station account.

6

6. The method of claim 1 , wherein the previously purchased mobile station media content is stored in association with an identifier comprising an alphanumeric string, and the mobile messaging service message includes the alphanumeric string.

7

7. The method of claim 6 , wherein the alphanumeric string of the identifier comprises a keyword.

8

8. The method of claim 1 , further comprising setting a catalog price to zero for the selected previously purchased mobile station media content as part of the provisioning.

9

9. The method of claim 1 , further comprising sending instructions to a Web page associated with the user's account for downloading the media content.

10

10. The method of claim 1 , wherein the selected previously purchased mobile station media content includes one or more ringtones.

11

11. A system comprising: a web server configured to provide an on-line user interface for accessing information related to a user's account for wireless services provided through a mobile communication network and to receive, via the on-line user interface, user input selecting previously purchased mobile station media content for transfer to a new mobile station associated with the user's account; a service creation manager device configured to store provisioning information with respect to the selected previously purchased mobile station media content; a zone provisioning network device configured to provision the selected previously purchased mobile station media content for transmission through the mobile communication network to the new mobile station, based on the provisioning information stored by the service creation manager device; and a group provisioning manager network device in communication with the service creation manager and the zone provisioning network device, wherein the group provisioning manager network device is configured to perform functions comprising: determining whether the user is authorized to access the selected previously purchased mobile station media content, wherein the determining comprises sending a query to an authentication-authorization-accounting (AAA) server; and upon completion of the provisioning and upon determining that the user is authorized to access the selected previously purchased mobile station media content, transmitting a mobile messaging service message through the mobile communication network to the new mobile station, the mobile messaging service message including instructions for downloading the selected previously purchased media content to the new mobile station through the mobile communication network.

12

12. The system of claim 11 , wherein: the group provisioning manager network device is further configured to perform functions comprising receiving a response to the transmitted messaging service message from the new mobile station, the response including a request to download the selected previously purchased mobile station media content through the mobile communication network, and the application download server is further configured to perform functions comprising transmitting the selected previously purchased mobile station media content to the new mobile station based on the response received from the new mobile station.

13

13. The system of claim 11 , wherein the selected previously purchased mobile station media content includes a BREW application.

14

14. The system of claim 11 , wherein the service creation manager device, zone provisioning network device, and the group provisioning manager network device are the same device.

15

15. The system of claim 11 , wherein the service creation manager device, zone provisioning network device, and the group provisioning manager network device are different devices.

16

16. The system of claim 11 , wherein an identifier associated with the media content comprises an alphanumeric string, and the mobile messaging service message includes the alphanumeric string.

17

17. The system of claim 16 , wherein the alphanumeric string comprises a keyword.

18

18. The system of claim 11 , wherein the group provisioning manager network device is further configured to perform functions comprising receiving pricing information for the selected previously purchased mobile station media content.

19

19. The system of claim 11 , wherein the mobile messaging service message received by the new mobile station is addressed to a short code specifying a location of the selected previously purchased mobile station media content provisioned for download by the zone provisioning network device.

20

20. The system of claim 11 , wherein the mobile messaging service message is in the form of a simple messaging service (SMS) message.

21

21. The system of claim 11 , wherein the group provisioning manager network device is further configured to perform functions comprising sending instructions to a Web page associated with the user's mobile station account for downloading the selected previously purchased mobile station media content.
